This infection has just been reported from China in early May 2014. The disease is believed to be a cross species infection. All indexed cases are from China. Of interest, the H5N6 inl uenza virus is the primary virus for avian. The avian H5N6 inl uenza virus in avian population is a low virulent strain. However, the clinical manifestation in human seems severe. In this mini-review, the authors summarize and discuss on this new emerging inl uenza.展开更多

The disease is an acute illness with respiratory manifestation caused by 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as designated by the World Health Organization (WHO). Until the present, there is no specific antiviral treatment. For prevention, standard infection control is necessary. Similar to any new emerging infectious diseases, finding new vaccine against the virus is the hope. In vaccinology, the first step for finding new vaccine is identifying the epitope of the pathogen. Based on the new bioinformatics technology, the bioinformatics approach is useful for epitope finding. The good example is the previous epitope finding within emerging Zika virus molecule[3]. Based on the same technique as used in the previous study on Zika virus[3], the authors hereby report the primary data on epitope finding in Wuhan novel coronavirus.展开更多

Lymphoma is a rare cause of acute abdomen. Patient concerns: A 54 year old patient complained of repeated episodes of acute abdominal pain over the past 3 months. Diagnosis: Mantle cell lymphoma. Interventions: Chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.Outcomes: Abdomen pain disappeared and the patient was discharged uneventfully. Lessons: Although it is a rare cause of acute abdomen, lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis workup of patients with unexplained and unusual acute abdomen.展开更多

The good example is being trapped in cave. In July 2018, there was a worldwide news about 13 persons trapped in the cave in northern region of Thailand. Finally, those persons were able to be successfully rescued by the rescue team after more than 10 days trapped period. The interesting issue is on the clinical management of these persons in acute phase after being rescued. In fact, acute management of those who are rescued from difficult places is an interesting issue in acute disease management. Focusing on the case of being trapped in the cave, there was a similar case of being trapped in underground mine in Chile(1)In the present Thai situation, all victims were immediately sent to hospital for management. All cases recieved primary care and obtained immunization.展开更多
